We will live happily ever after, as soon as we erase all artifacts reminding us of the evils of our history. We actually remain so barbaric and politically incorrect as to have public monuments to slave owners in our national capital. How can this great nation honor men like Washington and Jefferson that engaged in such despicable, inhumane practices?

Or maybe the Governor of Alabama can; you do know that he equated the confederate flag to the swastika today, right?

I want the danged Declaration of Independence taken away and scrapped - it was writen by a slave owner! 
In fact, we should ask England to take us back because obviously we should never have seceded.
btw, the Gov of Alabama is an idiot.
I equate his brain to pudding.

My 2 cents. I really don't understand what a flag has to do with racism and acts of terror. Does the flag invoke racial thoughts absolutely yes, but to shoehorn it into the shooting is a helluva leap.
Now the flag. I don't really want to get into this debate about what the flag means to "you." The flag represents a short lived nation that's entire economy survived on the back of slave labor. We can discuss the the motives for war all the way back to the Mason-Dixon Line if you want but the above statement is true. That flag represented a country that couldn't survive without slave labor.
If you find some other meaning in it and feel the need to fly it are you entitled to do so? Certainly! No less entitled than I am to think you are ****ing ignorant for it.

What about the eagle? The eagle was the symbol of the Nazi party too.

He is a right wing republican, so what would you expect?

Obviously not enforced anymore, but maybe the Guvnor of Alabama should get that law they have against integrated schools off the books first.

People living in any American city who's racist name is tied to the Confederacy should expect a name change in the near future. All sports franchises must follow suit. All racist street names nationwide with any ties to the Confederacy must be changed. Any and all maps carrying these racist names will have to be changed as well.
Everyone (no exceptions) who's name in anyway can be tied to the Confederacy must have their racist names changed.
Stay tuned for further changes due to racism.

Words, symbols, flags, cartoons, are to be banned if the busybodies so choose.
The Taliban have fewer social demands than today's western progressives.
Toe the line or face public shaming, gov compulsion or worse.

I know, lets just pretend like it never happened. Hundreds of years of history down the crapper. In fact, I'm looking forward to celebrating the first year of our new Country on July 4th!
Oh wait...does the 4th offend anybody? Is there a petition being passed around?
